I’m a long time subscriber of your blog. Even from the days before Crayon Physics.

I thing it would be great, both for you and for your fans that you’d start developing web based games. This could increase the number of players in orders of magnitudes, and you could earn nice money from advertisments.

@Faguss: I don’t agree with you. IMHO there’s a whole lot of possibilities for new flavours of gameplay by combining the existing game mechanics into something yet unseen. And it’s quite a challenge to actually make something playable out of it because not every game mechanic fits the others. But in this case Petri hit the sweet spot. Though I admit that in the first moment the whole idea seemed rather uninteresting but then after playing for a while I found it quite addictive.

The only thing I pity is that the last Petri’s “games” lack the stylish graphics we could see in “Cacodemon’s Barbecue Party in Hell”, “Pluto Strikes Back” and “The Amazing Flying Brothers” (and “The Truth About Game Development” also). But I understand that it’s just the way it is with prototypes.

I don’t mean to insult this game, or any other of the little once-a-month projects, but I think these little experiments are detracting from the development of Crayon Physics Deluxe. I know Petri has promised a monthly game, but I personally feel that these are forced projects from someone who wants to satiate their fan base. And that also doesn’t mean they are bad games: Petri is just such a good developer that even his once-a-month games are excellent. He puts all his efforts into them, which is detracting from CP. I’m talking in a circle at this point, so I’ll let the other fans talk it out.

so what if the release of CP deluxe is delayed? just forget about it, and be pleasently surprised when you hear from it. the monthly thing is what keeps petri from stagnation, and who knows if he finds another big hit.

even if petri only prototyped, it’s all it’s needed. others can implement them. he is too good a visionaire to vaste too much time on the details. but of course if petri likes to develop a full product, it’s his business. after all, he’s talented as an implementor, too.

Does anyone REALLY believe that Crayon Physics Deluxe will ever get released? Petri got beat to the punch by Magic Pen while fiddling around with these vanity games. Google Magic Pen and go play that. It does pretty much everything CPD promised to do, with one major difference: It actually exists.

Neat game, but it seems to have a lot of bugs with regards to the matching which makes it sort of unplayable. Sometimes groups of three wouldn’t match at all and simply get stuck, other times I’d match five or something but only three would be removed.

If all u are interested in is CPD then don’t check every few days. Thats what the email me thing is for.

MAGIC PEN is a horribly done game even compared to the prototype CP. It is hard to draw objects and has under 20 levels. It wont let you draw under objects and there are levels directly copied from CP. I dont think that Magic Pen beat petri to making this game.

Hahahah. This Game Is so Awesome!, its like space invaders meets tetris. The music Is Very Nice, i love the art like always.

Happy Birthday Crayon Physics!

@ Everyone Who Dissing Monthly games.

This Blog Wasn’t Created for CP lovers, Petri Has been Making monthly Games Before CP and Before He Mentioned a CPD, so all of you that whine saying oh im not going to like anymore cause you make these gay monthly games just leave. What would compel you to insult the Genius mind behind CP. enjoy these monthly games Even though they are not CPD and respect their creator.

@ Petri

Dude Great game ounce again! dont listen to these whiners i personally love your monthly games! they are what attracted me to this blog in the first place and as badly as i would like to see the release of CPD i understand that good games take time ( thus is why i will never become a successful programmer no patience).

I hate the phrase but it fits the little whiny b*tches who seem to populate this board: “Something done for nothing is worth nothing.”
You ingrates might be right in complaining if you put out money for Crayon Physics Deluxe, but you didn’t, so STFU! By making demands and insulting the person who gives you FREE entertainment, you show your ungrateful, welfare, entitlement mentality.
Petri, take your time, release it when you want, or never release it. Screw ‘em if they don’t like it. -b

Love your work Petri, PLANET OF JELLIES IS PRETTY ADDICTING
Personally I come here for unique game play and concepts. I could easily go to any site with flash games but I come here to try your original games.I really like CP and Evolution SHMUP FOR THERE DIFFERENT WAYS OF ENTERTAINING ME.

Ian’s right, that’s the whole point of Kloonigames. It’s clearly stated on the About page:

“The point of this blog is I try to crank out an experimental game every month.”

It says nothing about Crayon Physics Deluxe. Or maybe it’s written between the lines? ;P

The lesson learned from watching the behaviour of some people here is that one should never ever let people know about the game he’s going to release until it’s done or at least in the RC stage. Otherwise he’s risking being exposed to histeric reactions of pretensional fanboys half of which will keep on whining even after the game is released (complaining that it’s not what they were promised to get).

Yeah, surely some percent of such behaviors can probably be explained as a reaction to frequent dissappoinments caused by overhype generated by marketing guys at the gaming industry but Kloonigames is not a right place to show your frustration - what you get here, is free.

This is a fairly nice little game, with a couple of areas that could easily be improved.

The Good
Simple, easy to understand gameplay, with music that fits perfectly. It reminds me of Pluto’s Revenge in that respect. When I eventually lost, it left me feeling that it was my own mistakes that were responsible rather than the game, which is perfect for this sort of simple puzzle game. I like the mechanism where falling jellies may redirect the normally moving ones into a lower layer.

The Bad
It starts too slowly, and progresses in speed too slowly. Adding difficulty levels which start at different speeds would improve it noticeably. A single click at the wrong moment (just as they move) may lead to multiple jellies falling, both where you clicked and where they moved to. It would make more sense if 1 click = 1 falling jelly, even if it was in the wrong place.

The Ugly
It doesn’t finish. I’m certain everybody who plays this to the end notices, and this would be my number one priority to fix if you were planning to work further on this game.

LETS SEE NOW FIRST OFF AALL !!!! IM BAK PEOPLE READY TO START ANTHER RANT (FORGIVE ME FOR LISTENING TO THE LITTLE VOICE IN MY HEAD SAYING Y IS IT NOT OUT YET) BUT PETRI PLEASE THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH I NO IM A ASS RIGHT NOW BUT BOTH RYAN AND JACK HAV A POINT WE ONLY WANT CP DELUXE YA I APRRCITE THE MONTHLY GAMES BUT I DONT BOTHER WITH THEM CAUSE I ONLY CHECK ON THIS SITE FOR (drum roll please) CRAYON PHSICS DELUXE !!!!!!! NOW PLEASE ITS BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE GREAT AMZING GAME CAME OUT AND INSPIRED EVERY GOD DAM SOUL WHO TOOK A GLIPMSE AT IT BUT PLEASE THE ONLY GAMES THAT I ACTULLY LIKE OTHER CP IS the amzing flying brothers,druid soccer and thats PRETTY MUCH IT WE DONT WANT MONTHLY GAMES SPEND UR TIME ON CP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I TYPING OM MY KNEES JUST WORK ON CP ,FORGET THE MONTHLY GAMES FOR NOW, GIVE A PROGRESS ON WAT DEVELOPMENT IS LIKE (say y its taking so long!) AND FINISH AND REALSE THE GAME U SHOULD NO ALOT OF US ONLY CHECK THIS SIGHT ONLY FO CP AND MANY OFF USS HAVE CHECKED LESS AND LESS AND NOW IM GOING TO WRAP IT ALL UP IN ONE RUDE SENTANCE (takes one big deep breath) hurry the FU!#$K up ,,,,,, please LOL

Why hasn’t Petri released the game yet? It’s clear that the game was totally playable when he released the youtube video and that was over SIX MONTHS ago… It’s clear that the game is total WAPORWARE and the only reason Petri hasn’t released it is because it’s a hoax.

Also I think all the other guys who said these monthly games are cool and shit, I think they are just Petri writing these comments with different names. I mean nobody really wants to see these shitty games.

Also, don’t listen to what others say about CPD. You do what makes you happy and keeps you driven. I love how so many seem to “stalk” you enough to know that you’re not spending ANY time developing it

You have quite a bit of creativity and imagination. It would be sad to see it go to waste because you felt obligated to settle on one project and put everything else on the backburner. Others seem to forget that, from your creativity and monthly games, CP came to be. Perhaps something even better is yet to be born.

Congrats on your MSNBC article, and good luck in your future endeavors!

Show some respect!
Who the hell are you to tell petri to stop making monthly games! If you had an ounce of the creativity he has you’d be lucky!
I came to kloonigames because i found the tribute to the rolling boulder game through a friend, and loved it. The originality and concepts of the monthly games are great!

@petri
I love the monthly games, they are much much better than wasting all of your time on CPD. It’ll be fun, but we can wait contently.
Take your time!

hahaahhahaha i cant beleive u first of all many of these monthly games peploe dont like to play other then druid soccer WHICH U IMPLIED U LIKED AS EVER1 INCLUDING ME DID and TAFB oo and frank i completely and tottally agree with u in every possible way ur right about the six months and the fact people only want deluxe SO ALL U PEOLPE CAN SHUT UP AND FACE THE FACT THAT MOST MONTHLY GAMES ARE DUM AND CP DELUXE WILL NEVER COME OUT (i bet little big planet will be out before CP lol) and just to let u all know i was once a huge fan of petri knowing that he should spend as much time to make the game but now he just TAKING THE PISSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RELEASE DELUXE !!!!!

Perhaps you should go take a look at his Gammar Nazi game, and learn how to spell as well. For future reference, people rarely take caps-lock laden, poor spelled, poorly punctuated posts seriously. It makes it seem as if an irrational child is throwing a temper-tantrum.

If you’re so set in the fact that “CP DELUXE WILL NEVER COME OUT” (sic), why don’t you just give it up and stop begging for it? It’s like a kid in a candy store–the parent says the child can’t have any candy, and the child keeps begging and begging, even though the begging is fruitless.

Perhaps you aren’t mature enough yet to understand the fruitlessness of begging and crying and screaming and kicking over the internet. Petri has a life, with certain goals, certain ideals and certain aspirations. If your’s don’t mesh with his (which appparently they don’t), then you need to learn to accept that and wait patiently like everyone else. Why? Because no matter what you do, Petri will do as you please. You only effectively annoy the others in the community, not get anything done.

That being said, why don’t you go develop CPD? Don’t throw stones at someone else’s house unless you can build one yourself.

wow kelly u actully hav a point cant beleive im saying this but ur right .. i gess it is my fault for being a annoying ass like som child in a candy store . it might ass well be said that im just a impatient assH0&e and ill agree i should just wait for CP deluxe then.. i just was seriously pissed of (hence my name) that evry time i com check on this site theres no deluxe no matter how much i wait (like those small anoyying things you hate about life

thats all i have to say P.S ill still hav my name as PISSED OF GUY (so people no who i am)

But the youtube demonstration was what… like half a year ago or somethin?

Were all trying to be as patient as we can, but people have their limits. I’m sure you’re working on it, but if you leave a carrot out in front of a horse for too long without feeding it… the horse dies.

We don’t care you’ll be back, you know? Neither do we care that you’re a pissed of…

You won’t make up for your lack of love and attention on this blog. You’re annoying everyone (including your self-esteem) with your SHOUTING spirit and writing, your flooding messages and with your I-dont-kare-ohw-im-writtinfg mentality…

Just calm down and give this comments board some peace, man! Go and eat a cucumber or a zucchini while you’re waiting for your carrot but stop braying at our eyes, please!!

@petri: Take your time and just have fun working on your little babies! (which I’m sure you’re doing ;-)) If you have, we will most certainly have fun playing too, and that’s all what matters I would say.

Crayon Phisics Deluxe WILL come. Petri WILL make it a kick-ass game. But just give him the TIME and SUPPORT to make it a damn good game! Don’t sit here and say you all are dying to see the release and hate the new games, etc.
Come on guys, give this man a break! He did an awesome job making monthly free games for us all, including the original Crayon Physics. He still does this. And he still IS working on the Deluxe version! I know we all want to see the full game soon, but please be patient! Petri isn’t payed for this you know… So once again: give him a bit rest and support!

Go bother someone else instead. And come back in a year or two to see if CPD is done, and play 24 other games at the same time. Hours of fun he made in relatively such a small time then, realise that!

To Petri: Respect man. Keep up the good work, and euhh… FINISH THA BLOODY GAME GOD DAMN IT! &RQ@#G&* (hehe, just kidding :P)

No really: keep it up. I will wait lets saty 3 years if it is needed for CPD. And I will keep saying you’ve done an awesome job so far! So keep up the good work!

hahahaah i like pssied of guy hes just like yahtzee from zero puctution (look him up)
the impersonaters are funny but kinda cruel
and all those who say hes annoyig r just ass kissers that dont have a sense of humour
plus i scrollred through the comments and found out that pissed of guy actully did apoligise then shit started happenig im gonna miss him he makes me laugh so much
oo and petri can u tell us how many more caenturyies we might have to wait till CP deluxe lol

(speaking in funny posh english voice) may i first say that i have returend and have no intetion to rant anymore since im to good for it and i cant prove this is the real me anymore so i jsut have 1 to say

I LUV ON HOW IVE MADE SUCH A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THIS SITE LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I agree with tomer
you should consider monthly webgames as opposed to monthly downloadables
and I dont think you should stop monthlies as it could make way for better games
and after all crayon physics started as another rapid prototype so to completely dismiss them as worthless is a stupid idea

I propose..
that u think of ur games like evolution SHMUP. U make a bunch of games and the ones people like u expand on, like CP. Stage 2 of the process is improving on the good games or maybe even combining all ur good experimental ideas into one.. where u can have an area where the u and the comp. try to get the a ball in the others goal, but you can draw crayon objects and shoot jelly at each other.
Of course this process means that you’ll eventually have to stop making the first stage games and move on to the second stage games.
But keep on making the first stage of games because i don’t think ur experimental pool of ideas has run out yet.

This message is related to Planet of the Jellies, that being said… DAMN, I downloaded CP a few months ago and it’s been sitting on my desktop since today collecting dust! I finally played it and wow… I thought to myself “Wow… soooo awesome.” then I come to the site to find out it’s got a huuuuuuge fan base, I never knew that. I’m an art kind of guy so it’s just the kind of game I’d drool over. (click my name to view my ms profile :P) I was so sad to find out CPD isn’t released. Regardless of what you do, I love you Petri Purho. You could drop a nuclear bomb on my city and I’d still love you.

i THINK hiddenman is right, the game isn’t as new and original as most of your mothly games. I think you should move away from matching games like this and M3. I liked the games nobody thought to make, like Grammar Nazi, SM Word, Bloody Zombies, and Pluto Strikes Back.

Everyone is either talking about CPD or Planet of the jellies while I’m still trying to figure out how I could play it. It’s quite a pain to read everyone enjoying the game when I can’t even try it…
HELP anyone?
